1 Osmosis Challenge

2 Use the words: isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic
If you soak your hands in dishwater, you may notice that your skin absorbs water and swells into distinct wrinkles. This is because your skin cells are _______________ to the _______________ dishwater.

3 Use the words: isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic
You decide to buy a new fish for your salt water aquarium. When you introduce the fish into its new tank, the fish shrinks and dies. You later learn that it was a fish from freshwater. Based on what you know of tonicity, the most likely explanation is that unfortunate fish went from a(n) _______________ solution into a(n) _______________ solution.

4 A student places a dialysis tubing containing sucrose solution into a beaker containing a solution. The total mass of tubing was initially 2.5g, but after 39min in the solution, the mass was 1.75g. Was the solution hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic compared to the sucrose solution?

5 HINT: Draw the scenario
The cells that make up object are 44% salt. If placed in 80% water, the cells are placed in what type of solution? What will happen to the cell?

6 What will happen to the cell? What type of solution is below?
